THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

CREATIVELY, IT WAS A FORMIDABLE YEAR!! RARELY HAVE THERE BEEN SO MANY TALENTED BREAKOUT ACTS, INCLUDING THE DARKNESS, FRANZ FERDINAND, KANYE WEST, LOS LONELY BOYS, MADELEINE PEYROUX, THE STREETS, GRETCHEN WILSON, THE SCISSOR SISTERS, COHEED & CAMBRIA, AND BOSTON'S DRESDEN DOLLS!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
If things were so formidable, STEVE (or should we say for-mee-DAHH-bluh), why were CD sales up by a staggering TWO PERCENT, and why was "the concert business...off by a whopping 30 percent"? HUH?????
